I have a "riddle" i need help with...
I have a "worksheet" that i have for my students to do when they are done with a test. I can't figure out one of the "problems".
If on the sheet it says "26 L in the A", the kids have to figure out that it represents 26 letters in the alphabet. If the sheet says "88 K on a P", it represents 88 keys on a piano.
But i can't figure out what "60 H in a CB" is...can anyone help me? I had an answer key, but i lost it

Re: I have a "riddle" i need help with...
I'm pretty sure a PP is correct and its 64 squares on a chess board.
I used to love solving these. Can you FM me the other ones you have?

Re: I have a "riddle" i need help with...
Depending on how you interpret the board, a cribbage board (CB) has 60 holes (60 H) per side
Cribbage board
Visually, cribbage is known for its scoring board - a series of holes ("streets") on which the score is tallied with pegs (also known as "spilikins").[6] Scores can be kept on a piece of paper, but a cribbage board is almost always used, since scoring occurs throughout the game, not just at the conclusion of hands as in most other card games. Points are registered as having been scored by "pegging" along the crib board. Two pegs are used in a leapfrog fashion, so that if a player loses track during the count one peg still marks the previous score. Some boards have a "game counter", with as many as five holes for use with a third peg to count the games won by each side.
There are several designs of crib board:
* The classic design is a flat wooden board approximately 250–300 mm (10–12 in) by 70–80 mm (3-4 in) and 10–20 mm (0.4–0.8 in) deep. There are two sets of 60 holes (30 'out' and 30 'back') divided into 5 point sections, see picture above. A pegging-out hole in the middle at each end allows the board to be used in either direction. One player or team scores on one set of 60 holes and the other player or team scores on the second set. Different arrangements are made for three player games.
* A newer design has three or four rows of 120 holes with a pegging-out hole at the end and is often brightly coloured. It is best suited to games played to 121, though it can also be used for 61-point games.
* Another common variation is based on features of the highest-scoring cribbage hand. The board takes the form of the number 29 (the highest possible score), with the pegging rows following the contour of the numbers "2" and "9". The design can sometimes include a background image of four fives and a Jack offset, the "perfect hand" giving that score.
Some older boards have 60 holes, as well as the standard board in the UK, so that would definitely qualify as "60 H in a CB"

Re: I have a "riddle" i need help with...
Here's info on the 60 hole Cribbage Board:
http://www.exampleproblems.com/wiki/index.php/Cribbage
There are two main designs of cribbage board:
* the older has four rows of thirty holes and a pegging-out hole in the middle at each end (allowing the board to be used both ways round). It is not suitable for three- or four-player games,
* the newer has three or four rows of 120 holes with a pegging-out hole at the end and is often brightly coloured. It is best suited to games played to 121, though it can also be used for 61-point games.
The original Cribbage Board definitely had 60 holes.....
